Container Connect
Empty containers don't earn revenue sitting in the wrong place.
Container Connect gives shipping lines a simple way to store, manage and reposition empty containers across the Upper North Island. Containers are returned to our Southdown facility and can be stored ready for use, reuse or movement by rail when required.
The result is fewer unnecessary movements, better use of container fleets and easier access to equipment where and when it's needed most.
